Amazed

Can I just say right here, right now one thing?

MY FRIENDS ARE SOOOOOOOO AWESOME AND AMAZING!!!!

This weekend was weekend number one of clean the house. dicea and bakestondone came over to the house Friday night after Family Dinner and we sorted through the kitchen cupboards and ooohed and aaaahhhhed over how much work bakestondone did Wednesday night. I have NEVER seen the family room looks that good in at least 10 years.

Saturday morning my aunt and uncle came over and soon dicea and bakestondone joined us and we were soon hard at work. Uncle put allergy filters in all the registers in the first floor. Dicea my aunt and I got the attic organized for maximum usage and started on the spare room while bakestondone tackled the florida room.

Uncle and Aunt had to leave around 2ish but they were shortly replaced by hearne, tessathehuntres and The Teenager (TM). Hearne joined bakestondone in the Florida room; The Teenager, Dicea and I worked on the spare room and the Huntress tackled the one job I had been dreading... mom's clothes.

By the time we were ready to break for dinner, the Florida room was emptier than it had been since before dad was really ill, the spare room was almost empty and tessa had all the clothes in the closets and the main dresser sorted for either trash or freecycle, as well as a couple bags we had pulled out of the attic.

I am in total amazement on how much got done. Next weekend will have the spare room completely empty and sunday we will be able to put a coat of paint on the walls to kill the hideous yellow.

We didn't put all the garbage to the curb as we wanted to be sure that they garbage men will take it all. And we had a LOT. Like one half of the two car garage was pretty much full of garbage bags.

If things continue to progress at this rate I will be done long before I had thought I would be. I'm now thinking to scale back to two weekends a month like I had originally thought to do. If that happens I will post dates.

I am still looking at a July move (just before pennsic).

I did learn that the neighbor's nephew is a plumber. This is good news for running the gas line to the kitchen. I also have the dimensions of the master bedroom so I can start getting prices for the replacement carpet in there.

But that will be another thing. Once money comes through.

But for now, I can't say enough how much the hard work that my friends did this weekend meant.

You so totally rock!
